About Cubix


So, what the heck is Cubix? I could answer that questions in several ways.

I could say Cubix is my current project, which doesn’t explain much.

I could also say that Cubix is a puzzle game, in the vein of all time classics like Tetris Attack (AKA Panel de Pon, AKA Puzzle League) or Magical Drop, probably with a hint of Klax in the mix -Yeah, I know. Klax was weeeird, but it had some really neat ideas that I haven’t seen in any other puzzle game, until know-. If Klax wasn’t obscure enough, you could say that it has a dose of Zoop in there. What is Zoop, you say? Well, the puzzle that was gonna me a revolution, and noone remembers…

So, if you know those games, you could start getting an idea. But, what if you don’t know any of those?

Well, I could say that Cubix is a match 3 puzzle game. Which is technically true, but you’d get the wrong idea. As this is BY NO MEANS, a Bejeweled kind of game. While we are at it, it’s NOT a mobile game at all. It’s going to be released for PC. Hopefully soon ;)

On a personal note, I could tell you that Cubix is my first “big” solo game. I’ve been part of the game industry for the last 4 and a half years, but this is my first endeavor not under the wing of a big company, and as such, the first time I have creative control of my work.

As I said, this is my first “big” project. I’m an avid gamejammer, and you can find some examples of my gamejam works in my gamejolt page ( http://gamejolt.com/@DrillerDev ). In fact, the current iteration of Cubix started as a gamejam entry, for both FamiliarGameJam and LowRezJam. You can find the jam version here: http://gamejolt.com/games/cubix-lowrez-edition/138355

Wait, did I say current iteration? Yes. Yes, I did. You heard (or rather, read) well. While this project started in the april jams, the actual game idea is much, MUCH older. How much, you say? Well, I created cubix while learning to program when I was in highschool. ABOUT 18 YEARS AGO. In, wait for it, Visual Basic 4. Afterwards, I made several versions as I learnt different languages and game engines (And that’s a great story for another entry). You could say that, once this is finished, the total time will be even longer that Duke Nukem Forever. Yoinks!

Now you know a lot more about Cubix than you did before, don’t you think? But there’s one more thing I wanted to comment. I plan to release a demo version in a couple of days, so stick around if you want to experience it by yourself ;)

Best Regards,

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

If you have more of an acquired taste, the restaurants in Niravasi have you covered! Maybe skip the salad bar, though.

Levels' maps.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

I mostly build 3D First Person Shooter game mechanics in Unity, and in this I'm just showing C4 mechanics I made for a little side project I am working on! :)
